Should this template be placed on the Main page or on the Talk page? I've seen it done both ways. Thanks, [[User:Londonjackbooks|Londonjackbooks]] ([[User talk:Londonjackbooks|talk]]) 05:41, 28 July 2011 (UTC) |

: {{ping|Londonjackbooks}} This is an excellent question, and one I've had too. As far as I can tell there's no ''policy'' requiring it to be any particular place. Personally I feel it is more convenient to have straightforward explanations in the "notes" field of the {{tl|header}} template, where the reader can easily find it; I believe most readers would not think to click the "Talk" tab to find such information. But I don't have a policy basis for that, just my opinion. -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 05:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC) |

:: {{ping|Peteforsyth}} Makes sense to me. If readers only realized that they have just as much to learn from reading a talk page as well! :) Wow! A 13-year-old question! I've been away so long... Be well! [[User:Londonjackbooks|Londonjackbooks]] ([[User talk:Londonjackbooks|talk]]) 13:03, 29 February 2024 (UTC) |

[edit]This template adds Category:Doubtful Fidelity, I see that as a separate issue. How about Category:No source? Cygnis insignis (talk) 09:54, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
